Low Loss sounds like... There's low loss? We will see what happens when it comes out but if that's the way to increase the cable width and there is noticeable loss in quality... I'd go with HDMI 2.2 solution. But we will see.

I usually hear that language use when talking about Coax Cables but assuming they using it in the same context it use with Coax Cables it just mean the signal weaken at a lower rate.  100% of cables lose signal strength the longer it go which why there a max distance on all cables before the signal not strong enough anymore to reliable give the information.  Low-Loss in this context just mean it can go farer before it no longer reliable.

It won't affect quality if you keep to the rated distance but that true with all cables including HDMI cables.
